Accidently Lost word file
I was stupid enough to open a word document and delete the original content
and then I wrote something else instead and accidently hit the save button. The document was of course saved with the old file's title. Now I have lost the copy of the old file and I wonder if anybody could explain me how I can retrieve the old version of the file? -- Kicking

If you have Vista Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise you can use the Previous Versions feature. Refer to Vista's Help for how to do that. If you only have Home Basic/Premium, then this feature isn't available to you. Restore the file from backup or, if you don't have a backup, you are SOL. Sorry.

From whatever backup medium you use. Once over-written, a file's former contents cannot otherwise be retrieved. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot
